@matthew-green.bsky.socialThis weekend there was also a reenactment of the Battle of Crogen. Just as in 1165, the combined forces of the Welsh Princes defeated the army of Henry II, which was trying to advance down the Ceriog Valley.

@matthew-green.bsky.socialToday it was the turn of Chirk Castle. Originally built in the late 13th Century by Roger Mortimer of Chirk, it has been substantially altered by successive owners, such that only sections of the medieval castle remain.
